Service of Controllable Devices through a Control Point
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a virtual kit identifier for a plurality of devices associated with a plurality of entities, the plurality of devices including a control point device and one or more controllable devices;
storing device profile information for the plurality of devices in a database;
receiving the virtual kit identifier in a request for service;
determining device profile information stored in the database for a controllable device in the one or more controllable devices;
sending at least a portion of the device profile information including configuration information and graphical user interface display information to a user interface, wherein the user interface uses the graphical user interface display information to cause display of a page using the configuration information; and
connecting to the control point device in the plurality of devices to coordinate performing of the service with the controllable device based on information outputted on the page.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method determines a virtual kit identifier for a plurality of devices associated with a plurality of entities. The plurality of devices include a control point device and one or more controllable devices. Device profile information for the plurality of devices is stored in a database. The virtual kit identifier is received in a request for service. The method determines device profile information stored in the database for a controllable device. At least a portion of the device profile information including configuration information and graphical user interface display information is sent to a user interface. The user interface uses the graphical user interface display information to cause display of a page using the configuration information. The method connects to the control point device in the plurality of devices to coordinate performing of the service with the controllable device based on information outputted on the page.
